Since 1983, the Bay View Players of St. Mary Academy – Bay View have been performing a cabaret show at the school's annual Manhattan at the Bay event. The show is the main attraction for this fundraising event, with all of the proceeds going directly to the school. Over 100 St. Mary Academy – Bay View students participate in the performance as singers, dancers or members of the technical crew. A small number of male students from local high schools supplement the cast. The show is directed by the school's Fine Arts faculty and supported by parent volunteers. Students help build the sets and run the lighting and sound during the show. Manhattan at the Bay includes six performances of the cabaret over one weekend, typically the last weekend of April or the first weekend of May. In addition, supplemental fundraising events are held on campus throughout the weekend.
